Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I wonder why they're only selling completes right now? A frame only option seems like a no-brainer. The other weird thing is that they're offering an 'Elite' build aimed at racing (I assume) with carbon cranks (likely yielding sub-optimal chainline according to SRAM specs) but expect people to be ok with running 33mm tires on 18mm rims in 2018? Some relatively small tweaks would really improve the build.
